Speaking during an investor’s call, CD Projekt RED CFO Piotr Nielubowicz revealed that the company expects to have 350 — 500 people working on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Orion.
As previously confirmed, CDPR is also establishing a new study in Boston to work on the title, with a number of staff set to move to the US as production on the sequel ramps up.
The North American studio will consist of teams working from Boston and the team working from Vancouver, the project will also be supported by developers from Poland.
As for the total headcount required for such a production, I believe the best reference is Cyberpunk 2077, our most recent release and a good reference point when thinking about development headcount and future projects of this scale. I think it’s safe to assume that between 350 and 500 developers should be required.
